' a frustrum' of a cone and is slightly shorter -of a U-shaped support 18 secured to the hot- This receptacle is'also made in the shape of 7 than container 7 and is'supported by means tom 19 which closes the smaller end of the receptacle. The support 18 has outwardly extending feet 20 that are adapted to slide into within the container 7.; The inclination of the spaces between the upper surface of bottom 9and the'lower surfaces of plates 16. The support 18 is so adjusted thatfit will hol'd the receptacle 17 inconcentrid relation the walls of the container and receptaclewith the common arms is the same and therefore the walls are concentrlc'inevery horizontal plane, The-lowcnend ofthe receptacle17 is also provided with openingswhich have been indicatedv by reference numerali21. These openings are screened in the manner'shown. A cover 22 is providedwith a downwardly extending cylindrical flange 23 that fits into the -up-per,end of: the container. This cover thejreceptacleis one-third'the cubical contents of'tlievcontainer. an'dftherefore thechamb'er betweenjthe two: has a capacity equal to twice that of the receptacle. 'VVhen the percolatorfisjemployed for making sirup sugar putinto'the space between the wallsof the container andthe receptacle and this sugar has been designated by reference numeral, 26 f'The-rec'eptacle is then filled witlrwater 3 which has been] designated by reference numeral 27; .cThe water'from the receptacle flows outwardly through openings 21 and mixes with the sugar which] dissolves "and forms a concentrated sugar? sirup" in which the water iscompletely saturated with sugar.

' This sirup flows outwardly through openingsll i'ntofthe tank} Theproportions of sugar and watennecessary to for nfa satu rated isolation is practically two volumes of sugar to one of water and the spacefor the sugarj'and the. space provided for the water are so'jproportionedthat their volumes are, suchi' as to form: a concentrated sirup. It, is

I therefore only necessary to fill the sugar conit withwater in orderto'for'm a sirup of the tainer with" sugar and the water receptacle desired concentration. Y H

[I have previously pointed outthat with the structures'shown in my patents aslight difiiculty was experienced due to; the fact thatt-he sugar" 'couldlnot'move freely downv'v ardl y ,in the space "between the receptacle thecontainer' andtherefore it sometimes; happened fthat the sirup would vary in its:

concentration. With the constructionshown and described above; the distance from the outer wall of the receptacle to the inner 'wall of the container is equal at all points from the bottom to the top and therefore the sugar can freely flow downwardly to replace that which is dissolved, andfwhich has passedinto the tank in solution.

In the present. embodiment the container and the receptacle have beenshown as providedwith conical wallswhich taper downwardly and therefore it is evident that the area) "of the j space that contains the sugar diminishes towards the bottom, but since the tape'i-" ca n -be made very small, this variation is notsufiicient to produce any undesirable retardation ofthe'feeding of the sugar; If thetaper, of the container andreceptacle is gradually reduced until they approach the shape or acylindenf'there will, of course, be

no crowding action when'the sugar moves,

downwardly, V 7. v

i I want to call particular attention to the specific construction which I am' employing,

and whichI obtain a chamber forthe sugar whose wallsare paralleli'from the top to the bottom and which thereforepermits the sugar to move down freely so as to continually replace that whichhas beendis solved by'the .water. .I also wantito call attention'to'the factlthat' the nearer the vicontainer and receptacle 'areto a cylinder,the more completely will the'obj ect of myinvention beattained. The conical shape employed' has been used in preference to a cylindrical shape because it presents several advantages in construction} Having described my invention What is claimed as newis: 7'

1. A simple sirup percolatoncomprising a sugar container whosebodyportion is frustro-conic'al .in shape and: provided at the end having the smaller diameter with an imperforate bottom, the wall of the container having a plurality of perforations a short distance above the bottom, said perforations being covered with wire screens of suitable mesh, the upper surface of the bottom having secured to it two anchoring plates symmetrically located on opposite, sides of a' diameter, the" adjacent edges of the plates being spacedfrom the bottom, afrustroconical water container'located within the sugar container, the two COntainershaVing the same taper," the water container having an-imperforate bottom and having its wall provided with openings directly above the 7 bottom, the openings being covered withfa suitable screen, the bottom of thegwater con tainer having aiU-shaped' support whose, lowerflendshave outwardly extending feet adapted to engage the", spaces between the the' water eontainer in pos'itiofn';

container having an imperfor-ate bottom and a conical upwardly and outwardly plates and the bottom and 'toiserve gto hold 2. "A sirup fpe'rcolator, comprisinga side wall, the wall directly ahoire' the bqttcm having a row of perforations, a water recep tacle' located within the sugar container, the sugar container and 1 the water receptacle having the same shape and concentrically l0-' e ated whereby the radial'distancelbetween l 4 the outer wall of the water container and the inside wall of the sugar containeris equal in all spaced, vplant-is perpendicular to the common axis of the sugar container and water receptacle,'thel0wer end of the wall of the water-receptacle having a row of per-" forations closed by strainer material, the
